Peter Frantz is an American artist born in Tyrone, Pennsylvania and subsequently entered a large, eclectic, extended family of artists and musicians. His primary artistic language is the object. As a practicing sculptor much of his three-dimensional art employs natural elements as raw material, combined with cast bronze, steel, glass, building materials and retasked objects. Many pieces utilize video, light and sound as a message amplifier.

"Opening passages to another part of your world. I love the thought of it. Art can act as a bridge between the seen and unseen, and I am happy to crossover. It opens a realm of limitless wonders, where all answers are promise. When things tend to go sideways, I rejoin the journey by finding passage to a space where life collects, and I am by design, welcomed. I find these places often in gardens where art can be the key to entry. It's always good to know you belong."

He attended the University of Notre Dame studying engineering before subsequently matriculating at Goddard College, earning a degree in design and social ecology.  He holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.
